In over 50 programs, "Volldampf" presents stories from the world of the railroad in a compact package in five minutes. The main focus is on railways from Switzerland or neighboring countries. However, the Volldampf team has also realized programs on the Jing-Peng Railway in China or a Dutch museum railway.

history

On May 8, 2006, at 5:05 p.m., "full steam" was broadcast for the first time on the telebasel transmitter. The subject of the first broadcast was a portrait of the Kandertal Railway in southern Baden. The launch of the series also sparked interest from other television stations. Between 2006 and 2009, "Volldampf" was broadcast on Tele Top , a station in eastern Switzerland . In addition, from 2008 individual full steam contributions within the "Bahnen der Welt" series of the German broadcaster Bahn TV were broadcast. Since 2013, the programs have also been shown on local television in Lyss and the surrounding area "LOLY".
